A reader tells me that the USAG was speaking at a Project Safe Childhood Event, which I did not know. I don’t care, though; his remark was just as much of an impertinence, wherever it was uttered.

And this Project Safe Childhood thing smells bad to me. Look at their banner quote: “The Internet must be safe for all Americans, especially children.” (That’s Gonzales again.) More nanny-state pap. You’d think the great child-abuse hysteria of the 90s, and the horrible injustices that flowed from it, had never happened.

I had occasion to remark on a recent Radio Derb that Gonzales, for all his faults, is at least not Janet Reno. Now I’m not so sure. Can we get a DNA test?
